Manchester United have officially begun the search for a new manager following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim on Monday morning.
The decision to part ways with the Portuguese coach came less than 24 hours after a tense 1-1 draw against Leeds United and a public disagreement with the club’s hierarchy regarding his role.
Former midfielder and current academy coach Darren Fletcher will take caretaker charge of the team for Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Burnley.
Okay News reports that former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has emerged as a potential candidate to return to Old Trafford on an interim basis.
The Norwegian, who managed the club for nearly three years until 2021, is reportedly open to assisting his former team until the end of the current season. United’s leadership is considering several options, including a temporary appointment, to steady the squad before naming a permanent successor in the summer.
Amorim’s exit concludes a 14-month tenure marked by internal friction and a tactical standoff with the club’s recruitment department. While the team currently sits sixth in the Premier League, the board is seeking a leader who can better align with the club’s traditional identity and long-term vision.
Fans are now watching closely to see if the “Red Devils” will finalize an emotional comeback for Solskjaer to restore morale at the club.
